During 2022-2023 an average of more than 200 children aged 4 to 16 attended the charity’s weekly Arabic language lesson at its’ Saturday school.
We also ran an Arabic lady’s classes. These were attended by approximately 6 mothers.

Each Saturday 20 volunteer teaching assistants help run the classes, which are taught by 18 teachers employed on a sessional, self-employed basis.
The charity’s trustees attend each week have an overview and to undertake administrative and financial tasks.
During the year trustees took note of any comments and suggestions made by the parents and children attending the school. They also undertook an anonymous survey which produced positive feedback and revealed that the school is well regarded and valued by parents.
In addition to the formal teaching function of the school, it also serves an important social function in the life of the parents and children who are involved: bringing together people from different backgrounds to enjoy shared experience and culture of a common language.
After COVID, we didn’t start any clubs yet, hopefully will start it in the following year.
